Portrait Pals Pin Up

 Good evening friends! It is rare to find me back at the screen with my second post of the day. Turns out I had to get this card in before the deadline as I'm playing along with the MFT Sketch Challenge.  I had a false start with an idea that just didn't work, but when I pulled out the Portrait Pals stamps from Hello Bluebird things just came together. 



I love the result of these wild things posing in the jungle! I had them all colored and trimmed out so it just became a matter of fitting them in the sketch. I used Copics to color and added white gel pen accents. All are raised with foam behind them for dimension.




The sentiment and DSP are both from MFT (retired.) This greeting will work well whichever way I decide to go when mailing this. Either happy hugs for your special day or happy hugs from all of us or even with a just because theme. 



Since these stamps are brand spankin' new I am also entering at NBUS. You wouldn't believe all the amazing cards over there!
Thanks so much for your visit today. Makes this critter-happy-crafter smile to have you here! Hugs to you!

Be yourself

     Delight in your craft 

        Make something beautiful!

This is the cutest jungle animal card ever, Cindy! I love the dotty panel for their background and, of course, love the jungle leaves. Everything is beautifully colored! Thank you for sharing with everyone again at NBUS! Be safe! Hugs, Darnell

I love how you've coloured your animals in a way that makes them look as if they were scrubbed and brushed before having their picture taken! A really lovely card Cindy! Vicky x
